Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Close, I'll just give it away since that's pretty much it -- the skydiving guy greabbed the wrong bag.

Response to jojo 227 riddle:
"I have two!
1) What is the beginning of evil, and the end of life?
2) The poor have too much.
The rich have too little.
It is more evil than Satan.
It is more great than God.
What is it?"
My answer:
1) Sin
2) Nothing...
Comment: I suggest you add this line too on the second riddle:
The poor have too much.
The rich have too little.
It is more evil than Satan.
It is more great than God.
AND IF YOU EAT IT, YOU'LL DIE. <------ Added line
What is it?

That post from jojo is actually a couple of years old Samiritus...John Hale noted the "if you eat it you die" bit and answered it in 2004. The first page you see isn't always the most recent.
